Tuesday, May 9, York
We are up a bit early and have some good breakfast at our hotel. Our goal is to not miss our day tour of the countryside near York.
We see a white horse and visit the North York Moors. Lots of sheep roaming a beautiful countryside. Not sure the sheep appreciate the scenery - mostly they just chew on it. We spend some time at the market town of Helmsley and the seaside town of Whitby with its ruined Abbey. We also take a ride on a 100+ year old steam train from Grosmont to Goathland - touristy but good scenic fun.
Dinner is at Ambiente - good tapas and good wine, cannot go wrong with that combination.
I rode through Yorkshire on a horse with no name...
Just so I remember where we were
